Medical Questions:

  • No worries, we have a camp nurse that is on site. Our registered nurse has the knowledge to take on any situation that it may be. ​

Homesick Kids:​​

• What if my child gets homesick during camp?

  • It is very normal for children to get homesick their first time away from home. Our counselors are trained in these situations and have many solutions to help your child overcome their homesickness. By week end your new camper will be having so much fun they will not want to leave!​

• Is my child ready to stay all night?

  • Honestly only you can answer this question. The first indication that they are ready to go to camp is if they asked. Did they approach you about this opportunity? If so, they are asking to grow and become more independent. 

  • Has your child stayed overnight with family, friends, or scouts without you? If so, they may be ready to expand to summer camp. 

  • If your child is nervous about slumber parties or staying overnight somewhere outside of the home, they may not be ready. Even if they are not ready to sleep over at camp we offer options for day camp. This is a great into to see all that camp has to offer. Usually after a year of day camp most campers will want to return as a full time camper the following year. ​

• How to prepare everyone for camp?

  • To be honest, parents get nervous about summer camp too. The first time your child leaves home for a week can be stressful on the whole family. Best way to overcome this is to be prepared. Try not to put your worries or doubts on your new camper. If they know you are worried about them staying it will be hard for them to enjoy all that camp has to offer.

  • Be sure to take a tour of the camp so they can see where they will be sleeping, eating, and enjoying their days. When they come to see all that we have to offer, we find they build excitement to meet their new friends and enjoy activities they can only do while here.​

  • Get excited for your child. The more excitement that they can see you have for their new experience the more excitement they will have for it! Let them know you are proud that they want to try new things, grow as a person, and make new friends. A new friend at summer camp can turn into a lifelong pen pal or best friend!
